Blue tape- ATCs from Karen Champlin and MinXus stamps from Dark wall

 

I have several blue tape envelopes from Karen Champlin. I don't really know what Karen and De Villo's blue tape collaboration really is about, but I take it as a seal of quality :-)) Her ATCs are pocket-size masterpieces. Extremely well crafted. I love the neatly punched holes on those (and the A inside!). Every time I see them I think yes, she truly is the boss of them ATCs. Lucky me, thank you Karen!

 

From one blue tape to another one, I am proud to introduce Dark wall's new MinXus stamps. Dw doesn't send out much mail but he actually is a prolific artist. He doesn't talk much (though he can repeat the word DKoder an impressive amount of times) so I thought I would make a bit of promotion on his behalf. I consider those as received material and I will be using them on future envelopes to promote the Arthur Rimbaud School of Aesthetics and Subtle Obscurity :-))

 

The first set of stamps was a prototype, bearing a blue tape X, which I found really cool. The set below is the final version, with some of the minxes wearing little crowns. I just love them, thank you Dark wall, as usual your imagination knows no borders!

It was written Dark's, actually. Even better!

That was Dw before his morning coffee. Not pretty. Now we have to worry about the Spell Chick casting spells. Darx?

Darks (I like how Cheryl calls you), if the dimlight boy is bothering you I'll have a word with him. Has he had his daily peanut yet?

Merry Possum! The light bulb is using magic to delete my comments! He is in league with the Spell Chick!

None of those look like a CLP, by the way...

I was about to write that I can't see any drama, but comments are disappearing faster than lightning. Confusion, I guess.
